The Meltykiss range from Meiji is something I’ve avoided for quite awhile because it always seemed a bit too expensive. But despite the box looking so small there is, after all, 100g of chocolate here, so I figured I would just get it.

This is a Winter variety that is cocoa covered chocolate with a chocolatey centre, at least according to J-List, I’ll have to get in depth with these methinks.

So as you can just about see, the chocolate cubes are tiny. Like all Japanese chocolate, the packaging is perhaps a bit overdone, with a lovely little box housing about 15 individually wrapped chocolates. They’re all gold and inside the box are little snowflake designs, it’s all really nice.

The chocolates themselves taste great too. They have a very light cocoa dusting, hardly anything at all but enough to notice. The chocolate itself seems to be more a ganache than anything else, with the chocolate revealing a creamy, even more chocolatey centre. It’s definitely quite melty, and definitely very tasty. I’ve had Western snacks like this before, but the Japanese have done it quite well too and put their own little twist on it. Worth trying, but we do have things like this here already.
